Ok, so I have paused from my story for a little bit. Today was my last day of a three-day book sale / garage sale, and I am beat. My housemate / caretaker did much of the running around, and my mom and my aunt were here for two days of the sale. My dad was here today and was here to help clean up.
Still, the excitement of the sale itself, as well as the preceding months when I worked to get ready for the sale, have completely worn me out. I am looking forward to the next week because except for going out to dinner for my mother's 69th birthday and my father's big 70th birthday, I have absolutely nothing I must do. Sleep will be a major factor in whatever I might decide to do! I will get a good 12-14 hours tonight, waking up only for the bathroom, or if I am told I need to wake up long enough to eat a little, or drink something. Sleep during the day tomorrow will also be significant, with intermittent pauses for sitting in my recliner and watching a show or two.
Fatigue hits people in many ways. My fatigue can rob me not only of the daytime when I am sleeping, but also my ability to think clearly, to talk coherently, to remember even the simplest things (like what show I am watching), to my ability to walk, to hold things, and on and on.
It is now way past my bedtime, and like I said, I will be asleep most of tomorrow as well, so I will continue this a dew days from now..... G'nite!
